Friar Tuck

We could not get back to you on time. This is because the president was out of the country, which finally came back only few days ago.

After due consultation with the President, he instructed that we should inquire from you to know how much the monastery can afford to pay for the cost of the transfer (COT) which after the short fall of the payment, when the money is transferred to your account then the balance can be paid later. (Damned decent of you, Rufus!)

Kindly let us know immediately to enable us swift into action.

Rev. Adams

Friar Tuck makes an ambit claim...

My dear Brother,

Thank you for your most unexpected letter.

I would not go as far as to say it answered our prayers but it was certainly a bright spot in an otherwise dull morning.

I have consulted my brethren and we reckon that we could realistically come up with $20.

Australian.

Please let me know if this will suffice.

I remain, yours in humility,

Augustus Tuck.
